San Francisco, New York and Indianapolis get excited … Warren Moon tell TMZ Sport he believes the 49ers, Jets and Colts are the forerunners to land Deshaun Watson!!!
The Texans QB wants to be officially out of Houston … according to several reports, the 25-year-old has finished with the team after swearing with inmates and demanding a trade.
It’s unclear whether the Texans want to do that give in request – If you take into account, the QB is great – but if they do, Moon says he believes the Jets, Colts and 49ers are the most likely trading partners.
Why, says Moon with the Niners, can Watson be a big upgrade if the team moves on Jimmy Garoppolo.
With the Colts – says Moon replaced Philip Rivers with Watson it’s a no-brainer … although he wonders if the Texans would be open to an inter-division trade.
As for the Jets, Moon tells us that Watson would fit in perfectly there … given the media market in New York and the promise of new head coach Robert Saleh.
(We know Brandon Marshall definitely agree with that one!!!)

Moon says he is hopeful that Houston, once a deal is completed, will learn from this and realize that if he gets another star QB, he should immediately build it around him and make him the center of the team.
“Hopefully the organization will get a hint from this that we need to do a better job going forward,” Moon says. “We have to go look for another top-flight full-back, and we have to build a team around the guy so we don’t lose him next time.”
“Hopefully this is a lesson the organization has learned as they move forward.”
